    Selling and moving cars so I finally started on this one a little. It's a super solid car with really good patina on it. It has one rust hole on the left lower front fender and that's it. Interior is burnt up from the Florida sun. I have everything to replace the interior from a couple cars I have bought, sold and stripped out for parts. It's a plain jane wagon with A/C and rear window defog. That's it. I swapped the wheels off my Cadillac I bought onto it and used Tilex Mildew remover on it to get the dead paint off. Decided not to buff it out as I like the look of it.

    Here's a picture of the original bill of sale. Car was ordered on 6-17-74 and delivered on 10-11-1974. Brand new it was $5,733.00. I am the third owner. IMG_9685.JPG

    That's cool.
    Wheels and tires can really make a difference on a vehicle. I like 5 spokes in general. Looks nice.
